not so, we have done a lot to educate people on the revenue and profit definitions over the years.


Damn, if they don't understand the difference, they really need a class of Business 001 >.>

2009 279byen

2010 229b yen

2011 78b yen

Put in historical perspective its a pretty bad relative performance for Nintendo... 


Not so much, compare it to the pre Wii DS years, and it's much more than what they used to gain. The Wii DS years are an aberration.

just an lazy 2 billion profit, an the dip would be the debt caused by the 3DS. But this could be even more debt caused by umm let see an new console. 2 billion profit is over the top, that is crazy good people. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

year ending March 2005 is a  non wii/ds year.


DS was released NOV 2004 in Japan, 11 MAR 2005 in Europe.

And take into consideration the non favorable exchange rate.

I havent been in a business class since highschool but they still profited alot right. I mean no company is always gonna be up year on year forevor. This just means its time to do something new ala 3ds and wii2 i suppose.
